If you want to win a round in Apex Legends, you will hardly avoid some gunfights. However, you are at a strong disadvantage if the opponent sees you, but you do not see him. Therefore, you should always be cautious.
Why should I look up? In the King’s Canyon of Apex Legends, there are many houses scattered across the map. Most houses are made of wood and are already brittle, damaged, or old.
This creates openings in the wood. Through these, opponents can see you and even attack. Many people hardly pay attention to these openings, but only look at obvious weaknesses like doors and windows.
However, the holes in the wood are often located in the roof or near the roof. When you enter a house to seek cover or loot, you should always look up.
These houses have special openings.
You must know these killer spots
What kind of spots are these? Most of these openings are small holes, missing slats in the wall or roof, through which at most a grenade can be thrown. This is usually predictable and comes with a warning.
Many buildings with two stories and a balcony have a very large opening in a wall directly under the roof. Right in front of this opening is another roof.
Through this opening, players can monitor the entire upper floor as well as the stairs, simply by kneeling in front of the hole without being easily seen themselves.
Here you can find the large holes.
How do I reach the spots? The easiest way to reach such spots is with the legend Pathfinder. With just one use of his zip line or his ultimate ability, you can easily occupy the points.
With a little practice, you can do it with any legend. YouTuber Testy31 shows in the video how it works.

What is the benefit of this knowledge? Many players do not pay attention to these openings in the wood. With the knowledge of these spots, you have two advantages:

In Pokémon GO, the 8th generation might soon play a role. A code word has been found in the latest update.
This was discovered by a dataminer: Chrales, a dataminer for Pokémon GO, found various extracts in the update 0.143.0 that were marked with the word “koala”.
This wouldn’t make sense in relation to Pokémon GO, which is why many players are speculating about a secret code word. This could be related to the latest generation of Pokémon.
These clues were related to the 8th generation
What lies behind this code word: The idea of the code word doesn’t come from nowhere. Shortly before Niantic announced a collaboration with the Let’s GO games, various extracts with the word “beluga” were found in the code.
Could Pokémon Sword and Shield soon play a role in Pokémon GO?
It seemed that Niantic used a code word for the Let’s GO games so that dataminers would not stumble directly upon the content.
This is now again the case. The word “koala” appears everywhere in the update, so it’s another animal that Niantic could use as a code name.
This could hint at the code word: If Niantic is planning another collaboration with another Pokémon game, then it would probably be Pokémon Sword and Shield. These games revolve around a completely new, the 8th generation.
There is speculation that Nintendo will present more information about the new generation at the E3, which will take place next month. Accordingly, there could be an event for it in Pokémon GO. Perhaps this is precisely why the extracts in the code have appeared.
The Let’s GO games also play an important role in Pokémon GO
How could the 8th generation be connected with Pokémon GO? Not only events for this generation are conceivable. There might also be a kind of exchange system between the games. This is possible with the Let’s GO games as well.
Is this all official? No, these are just speculations from fans. The discovery of the word “koala” could also mean something completely different, but it would be quite logical if it were connected with generation 8.
What do you think about it? What could the word “koala” indicate?
Could Niantic soon take action against spoofers? There are indications:
Ghost Recon Breakpoint will do quite a few things differently than its predecessor Wildlands. We have summarized and explained the most important changes for you here.What’s new in Breakpoint?
A few days ago, Ubisoft presented its new military shooter Ghost Recon Breakpoint, which is set to be released on October 4, 2019, for PS4, Xbox One, and PC. It is the successor to the current series installment Ghost Recon Wildlands.
How does Ghost Recon Breakpoint differ from Wildlands?
Although the basic framework of the new Ghost Recon may seem similar at first glance, Breakpoint wants to take new paths in numerous areas and will therefore differ significantly from Wildlands in some respects. What makes it different? What is really new? Here are the most important differences and changes:
The Setting
The first difference is the setting. You are no longer in Bolivia, but on the fictional island of Aurora with different climate zones somewhere in the Pacific.
You are no longer hunters of Bolivian drug lords, but as a survivor of a helicopter crash, now you are the hunted. The survival aspect is now more focused.
The enemies you face are no longer Sicarios or gangs, but partly technologically equipped and elitely trained fighters – some even from the Ghosts’ own ranks. Not only current military hardware is in use, but also all sorts of futuristic technology.
No more AI companions
In Ghost Recon Breakpoint, unlike in Wildlands, there will be no AI comrades to lend you a hand and to whom you can give rudimentary commands.
However, that does not mean that you are completely on your own in the world of Aurora. If you do not want to go alone, you can experience the entire game with up to three other human players in co-op.
In addition, you will still have a drone with which synchronized shots will still be possible.
New enemies and improved enemy AI
While the variety of enemies in Wildlands was not really large, there will be numerous different enemy archetypes in Breakpoint. From light elite hunters to heavily armored enemies with miniguns and even combat drones the size of a car.
However, realism is to be maintained. Those who now fear encountering bullet sponges, as in The Division 2, need not worry.
Even the heavily armored enemies or a high-ranking member of the Wolves can still be eliminated with a few shots or even with a well-placed hit if approached correctly.
In addition, there is supposed to be improved enemy AI. For example, the Wolves, former Ghosts who now hunt you, are said to employ noticeably different tactics than the regular enemies. They are faster, have their own formations and procedures when they pursue you.
In Breakpoint, you will be able to set up these makeshift camps all over the island. There you can change your gear or class and take better care of your injuries, among other things. They also serve as fast travel points and “waiting opportunities”.
Additionally, you can set the time of day at this hideout or check the weather report if you want your next covert action to be pitch dark and stormy.
Injuries
While injuries in Wildlands had little impact on gameplay until your death, this will change in Breakpoint. If you take too many hits there, it can affect numerous factors such as movement speed or aiming with your weapon – and all of this comes in several intensity levels.
For example, a shot to the leg can slow your character down. If the injury is worse, your Ghost might limp, drag the leg behind, hardly be able to walk, or eventually only be able to crawl.
Injuries can be treated immediately with bandages to some extent. At the camp, you can patch yourself up.
Additionally, your character will also suffer from hunger, thirst, combat stress, and fatigue.
New camouflage options
In addition to the adaptive cover system, there are supposed to be new ways to seek cover – even when there isn’t any. For example, you can cover yourself in mud in a muddy pit and lie down there. This way, you blend in with the surroundings and can escape from one or another enemy.
More military equipment
In Wildlands, there were a lot of vehicles you could drive. However, very few of them were armored or had weapons. That is supposed to change in Breakpoint. Ubisoft has said there will be more military vehicles, such as combat helicopters, and a whole range of armored SUVs with different armaments.
Dialogue options
Dialogue options, as seen in Ubisoft’s Assassin’s Creed Odyssey, will also make their way into Ghost Recon Breakpoint. During cut scenes in missions, several conversation options will be available to you. It is still unclear whether these will have consequences for the further course of the mission depending on your choice.
Different quality tiers for loot?
In Wildlands, you could pick up the guns of killed enemies. But in Ghost Recon Breakpoint, they not only drop loot, but apparently, there are also different quality tiers, as reported by PCGamesN.
According to their statement, it was the case during their limited playtime that a found weapon was marked with the typical green glow of “Uncommon Loot”. However, what was different about the weapon could not be determined as the stats could not be viewed.
Otherwise, you could also get cosmetics and equipment from crates that were scattered throughout the game world.
PvP ready at launch
While PvP was added to Wildlands with a delay, Breakpoint will launch directly with a PvP mode. They learned a lot from this mode and its development in Wildlands and now know much better what players want and expect from such a mode.
By the way, the PvP and PvE share character progression. Everything you unlock in skills in PvP can also be used in PvE and vice versa.
Raids
With Breakpoint, Ubisoft wants to engage players for longer. They should also be kept entertained after completing the campaign – including with raids. These co-op activities are designed for a group of four players and will be released after the launch of Ghost Recon Breakpoint. The first raid is expected to take place in a base built in an active volcano. There is currently no further information.
More tactical options
Breakpoint is said to offer more tactical options than Ghost Recon Wildlands. For example, there will be new equipment, such as the welding torch, with which you can cut through fences. The time of day can be adjusted for your missions, and the weather can change as well. Among other things, you will also be able to drag enemies into the bushes and hide them there.
Class-based progression
Instead of a single skill tree as in Wildlands, Breakpoint will initially feature four different classes – including Assault and Sniper. You can change these at the camp. More will follow after launch.
Each class has its own talent tree and special abilities and must be leveled up and progressed individually. In this context, there will also be own class challenges to unlock passive perks of the respective class. Progress will be cross-cutting between PvP and PvE.
Bots are a big problem in the space MMO EVE Online. The developer studio CCP Games has now published a list of the 25 alliances that use the most bots.
What has CCP Games shown? A chart has been released, listing the 25 alliances of the MMO EVE Online, from which the most players have used bots that have subsequently been banned.
The list includes data from approximately 16 years, according to CCP Games. The chart does not indicate which alliances currently have the most bots! Many of the organizations no longer exist.
The chart shows which alliances were banned due to bots.
EVE Alliances in the Spotlight
What is special about the list? The list names the alliances publicly. Thus, CCP Games essentially shames bot users in EVE Online.
This list was already shown by the developer studio at the last EVE Fanfest – but without names.
What does the chart reveal? The pie chart indicates that primarily those organizations that rent Null-Sec space have used bots.
What is Null-Sec space? This area of the galaxy can be claimed by alliances, and it also contains very valuable resources. Here, uncontrolled, open PvP occurs.
Why rent this space? It is difficult, especially for small alliances, to hold space in Null-Sec for long, as the larger organizations are simply too powerful.
Therefore, there is the option to rent areas controlled by large alliances. Then, even as a small organization, one can mine resources, but a portion of the profits goes to the “landlord.” It is a win-win situation.
Because there is so much to gain in Null-Sec space and the “landlords” basically do not care about the “tenants,” many botters take the opportunity to make a lot of money.
What is so bad about botting? Botters operate multiple accounts in the game. This way, they can sometimes automatically generate a lot of revenue in the game in an unauthorized manner. Essentially, it is cheating.
This Could Have Consequences
What consequences does the publication of the chart have? Botting is considered a disgrace in EVE Online. Anyone labeled as a botter has a problem, as other players might be angry with them because of it.
Therefore, the alliances named in the list might now face some issues with other EVE players.
How does the community react? According to Twitter, EVE players are divided in opinion regarding the publication of the chart with names. Some feel that this “shaming” was unnecessary, while others welcome the decision. Generally, the belief is that CCP Games needs to take more action against botters in EVE Online.
A card for Hearthstone players is only available if they purchase the whole story expansion “The Big Heist.” However, it does deliver solid value – as it works like “Giggle Flip the Wonderful.”
This week, the first two wings of the Hearthstone adventure “The Big Heist” from the current expansion “Conspiracy of Shadows” will open. In addition to three card packs as rewards for completing each wing, there is another bonus if you own all wings. Only then will you receive the card “Shadow Cloak Zayle” (original: “Zayle, Shadow Cloak”).
What does Zayle, Shadow Cloak do? Zayle works very similarly to Giggle Flip the Wonderful. When you include Zayle in a deck, you don’t need to add any additional cards. Each game with the deck will then start with one of five different “evil” decks – selected at random.
The cloak Zayle is likely to be a replacement for many players for Giggle Flip.
A complete deck in gold: By the way, it’s particularly cool that you will receive a golden version of Zayle. This means that the decks you play will also consist entirely of golden (i.e. animated) cards. At least visually, this should certainly make an impression.
How much does Zayle cost now? In plain terms, this means that to own Zayle, you must pay €20 or 2,800 gold. All 5 wings of the adventure “The Big Heist” must be owned. Those who look at the situation more positively see the card simply as a nice bonus for anyone purchasing the complete adventure.
How good is Zayle? How good the decks that Zayle provides will be remains to be seen. However, if they are even remotely as much fun as Giggle Flip’s decks, then the card will likely be a must-buy for many.
After all, Giggle Flip will be rotated out next year, and Zayle could fill that gap. Whether Zayle’s deck will change over time or remain permanently the same remains to be seen.
Whether Zayle will later also be “craftable” (i.e. craftable for dust) remains to be seen. So far, however, it seems like a clear additional purchase argument for the expansion.
Will you get Zayle or is that even a good reason to buy the adventure “The Big Heist”? Or is such a card more reason against supporting this expansion?
Recently, the raid boss Riven was soloed in Destiny 2. However, the strategy used to accomplish this cannot be replicated by anyone anymore.
Here’s what it’s about: Player Tazus was the first player to manage to defeat the raid boss Riven solo in Destiny 2. Riven is the boss of the “Last Wish” raid, which was introduced with the Forsaken expansion.
Just before the reset on May 7, Tazus succeeded in taking down Riven solo. The timing was crucial because the strategy for the solo kill relied on buffs, a bug, and a lot of luck.

The basis of the kill was a bug where Arcstrider Hunters could deal more damage than intended since the Arc week. With the reset on May 7 and Patch 2.2.2, the bug was fixed. He also utilized the Revelry Elixir from the spring event, which also ended with the reset.
How was the raid boss defeated? Besides the Arc bug, Tazus also had luck on his side. He had only a 1:45 chance to hit the correct eye of Riven to stop her one-hit kill.
Thanks to a bug, the Arc Hunter could deal incredible damage for a time.
In the various phases, the player also continuously changed his equipment and subclass to adapt to the different conditions and prepare as best as possible for the upcoming sections. This is only possible on PC – on consoles, the menu loading times are simply too long.
Player had help: Under his video, Tazus thanks his clan, who supported him in preparations and test runs, as well as Gladd from Clan Redeem, who provided the strategy for the kill. The player was also cheered on by Slayerage, The Legend Himself, who is known for incredible achievements in Destiny and Destiny 2.
In addition to Riven, there are also other nasty opponents in Destiny 2, such as Trevor:
The MMORPG Astaria has been developed by one person for three years. This individual has an interesting vision that resembles more of a Pen & Paper role-playing game.
What is Astaria? The MMORPG places great importance on social interaction in groups. In the sandbox, you have a lot of freedom, but teamwork is always important.
You fight together as a server against the impending darkness.
You create your heroes from six classes.
The quests and battles are designed for groups.
In the team, you use powerful combo attacks.
There are no disadvantages to acting in a party.
Crafting plays an important role.
It is necessary to conquer areas that are occupied by monsters.
https://youtu.be/k5SkxWgB_Xs
Players versus Developers
What is special about Astaria? Not only is the MMORPG developed by just one person, but it also features an interesting approach that strongly resembles Pen & Paper RPGs.
The game uses a so-called PvD system, Players versus Developer. In this setup, the developer continually intervenes in the game, alters situations based on the actions of the community. This is intended to create a vibrant world where players constantly need to adapt to new challenges.
What else does the game offer? Astaria aims to be a hardcore challenge. This means that survival elements like eating and drinking are important and you must heal wounds.
Your items can break or you lose everything you had when you are defeated in battle.
In general, the difficulty level is meant to be very high.
The MMORPG Astaria will soon enter its early access phase.
What payment model does the game use? Astaria will be released as a Buy2Play game at a price of €19.99. After the early access phase, the price is expected to increase.
In The Division 2 , Massive initially wanted to raise the Gear Score to 515 – but has now changed its mind. This is the decision for the harder path, says our author Schuhmann. A decision that says a lot about Massive’s plans.
That’s why the increase of the Gear Score seemed so obvious: It was actually planned to raise the maximum Gear Score to 515 with the next update of The Division 2. With this, The Division 2 wanted to solve a main problem:
If players were promised 515 loot in the Dark Zone, it would have been a bait.
Even if players weren’t interested in the Dark Zone, they would have gone in, gritted their teeth, and cursed and complained while getting the best loot in The Division 2. That’s just how players in loot shooters operate.
Additionally, Massive would have followed the usual conventions and easily solved other problems:
In the raid, there is the best gear – and the best gear is the one with the highest item level
As the game progresses, there is stronger equipment – players then have to exchange their items, are motivated to do something new, and stay engaged
If there is to be the best loot in raids to motivate players to raid, then the loot must have abilities that are better or distinctly different than normal loot, but in a clever way and not just through “more power” like with the DIY king
This is interesting: Massive is not purist in this case. The Division 2 still works with “enhanced rewards”, so they assure that players will receive more items with item level 500 and that the items can be farmed in a planned manner.
However, they are holding off the actual “upgrade” of the Gear Score for a later time, when more time has passed to make the increase in Gear Score more significant.
This is the signal: This decision is an investment in the longevity of The Division 2 and shows that Massive has confidence in its ability to motivate players without resorting to the “cheap” method of simply tweaking the numbers.
We expect that the update will go live on Thursday, May 16.
The Chinese tech giant Tencent has made a daring maneuver to earn 14 million US dollars in just 72 hours. This happens with a replacement game for PUBG Mobileand a maneuver that is indeed quite brazen.
This is the background: Tencent has had the rights to PUBG for the Chinese market for some time and has also developed a mobile version there. In China, people are crazy about mobile and PUBG.
Suddenly, the government there saw the enthusiasm for mobile gaming critically, and PUBG could not generate revenue. The regulatory authorities refused to grant a license for new games.
Now, however, new rules are active: China is allowing new games again, but they must conform to their socialist values. There should be no corpses and no blood anymore; instead, a more beautiful picture of China should be drawn.
PUBG is, however, a game in which people shoot each other and only one survives. Not exactly socialism in its pure form.
This is how Tencent solved the crisis: Tencent closed the game “PUBG Mobile” and released “The Game for Peace,” which is essentially PUBG. The data from PUBG Mobile are automatically transferred to “Game for Peace.”
This “new” game pays respect to the “People’s Liberation Army Air Force,” the Chinese air forces.
Additionally, the game is playable only from the age of 16, and players between 16 and 18 may only play two hours a day.
The violence in the game has also been toned down.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1RzIxatssCM
The trailer for PUBG – Game for Peace
This is how successful it is: As reported by the South China Morning Post, the action was a complete success. The game generated a huge buzz on social media:
Some fans were happy to finally have a “permitted” version of the game
Others mocked the fact that the socialist version of PUBG Mobile comes without blood
In any case, “Games of Peace” was a financial success for Tencent. According to early reports from Sensor Tower, the title earned 14 million US dollars in 72 hours. Additionally, the iOS version was the most downloaded free game in the Chinese Apple Store last Friday and has earned the most money.
The stock of Tencent rose on the Hong Kong stock exchange – after this daring, “socialist” action.
In Fortnite: Battle Royale, there are recently recurring kill zones that can instantly kill you. The latest one has emerged with the reconstruction of Tilted Towers.
What are kill zones? The term “kill zone” refers to places in Fortnite: Battle Royale that can simply kill any player who enters them due to bugs. There is no protection against it. Anyone who visits the location dies instantly and without any clear reason.
The latest kill zone is also near Tilted Towers, or rather its new form Neo Tilted.
Where is the latest kill zone? As seen in a video on Reddit, the new kill zone is at a slope south of Tilted. More specifically, in grid square D6, on the eastern edge, toward the river.
In the video, a player tries to grab a supply drop and some of the items slide down the slope. The player wants to follow them and as soon as he steps on the slope, he dies instantly.
At first, one might think that an extremely precise sniper was at work, but the game text clearly says, “You have eliminated yourself!” The teammate shortly thereafter shares the fate of the first player and also dies at exactly the same spot. It indeed appears to be a kill zone.
Reactions to the new kill zone at Neo Tilted
This is how the community reacts: As always, when a kill zone appears, the community responds with mockery and fun:
“I first thought you fell to your death and it was just a joke”
What does Epic say? It seems that the bugs with the kill zones are becoming more frequent. So far, Epic has always fixed the errors promptly.
There is apparently no official statement from the developers yet, but one can assume that the new kill zone will soon be removed again. Possibly with the next patch, which is expected this week.
How long does the quest take? The event quest for the battle-hardened Nergigante started on May 11 and ends two weeks later on May 24.
What rewards are there? For defeating the battle-hardened Nergigante, you will receive materials to craft the Nergigante Gamma set.
You can check the stats of the Gamma armor here:
In terms of defense, the set is about at the average value of the Gamma armors. In terms of skills, the pants shine with massive attack boost level 3.
You also get Ryu’s outfit from Street Fighter as special armor in the fight. It has only been available until now with stat values. With the Nergigante tickets, you can get the new version.
The update with the battle-hardened Nergigante will be the last completely new content update to be released before the DLC “Iceborne”.
What’s new? PS4 players can also beautify their system with the new dynamic theme of Nergigante.
It is available in the PlayStation Store for €2.99. You can watch how it looks here:

In FIFA 19 there are now Predictions for Team of the Week 35. Read here which players could be part of the next Team of the Week.
What are TOTW Predictions? In the TOTW Predictions, the community tries to predict which players might make it into EA’s Team of the Week based on their performance over the weekend.
Often, some of the predicted players can actually be found in the Team of the Week.
Neymar could receive a Top Card: With one assist and one goal, Neymar showed a brilliant performance after a long injury. His second Inform card in FUT 19 would be an absolute Top Card in Team of the Week 35.
Mario Götze was named Man of the Match in the game against Fortuna Düsseldorf and contributed, in addition to a strong performance, one goal to the 3:2 victory. It would be his second Inform card in FUT 19.
Waldemar Anton, center-back from Hannover 96, scored the opening goal in the 3:0 victory over SC Freiburg. A place in TOTW 35 would mean his first special card.
Salomon Kalou significantly contributed to the victory against FC Augsburg with his 2 goals. He would also receive his first Inform card should he make it into the TOTW.
Then the TOTW 35 will be released: On Wednesday, May 15, the new Inform cards for Team of the Week 35 will be released. From 7 PM, the improved cards will be available in packs.
Keep in mind that Predictions are never 100% reliable. There can be significant differences from the actual TOTW from EA.
Gamigo announced a merger of the EU servers of the MMORPG Rift. However, this leaves many questions unanswered, which dampens the mood in the community.
What has Gamigo announced? On June 5, the European servers of Rift will be merged. In the end, there will only be one cluster with the following worlds:
Brutwacht (German) (PVE)
Brisesol (French) (PVE)
Typhiria (English) (PVE)
Cahail (Hidden – Used for balancing dungeons, raids, and warfronts.)
These servers will disappear: Bloodiron (PVP), Zaviel, Gelidra & Refuge will merge with Typhiria (PVE).
A move with open questions
Why is this merger taking place? According to the new operator of Rift, Gamigo, server performance and efficiency are to be improved.
What about PvP? There is no longer a population to justify a separate open-world PvP server. Therefore, there will be no such world in the future.
What questions remain unanswered? Gamigo basically only announced the server merger, but this has larger implications for the players. The community has some questions about the merger:
What about players who have the same name? Who has to rename their character?
What if players have more characters than character slots after the transfer? Since 50% of the EU servers are being closed, many could face major issues.
Do guild banks need to be emptied before the move?
What about emails?
Is it an automated transfer?
What about guilds that have the same name?
Players are slowly getting annoyed
How are players reacting? Moving to a new server is generally problematic, as players may have to come up with new names for their characters and essentially lose their virtual “home”.
What is the biggest issue? Especially those who have a lot of characters on individual servers fear losing some of them due to the merger. The number of character slots is limited, and about half of the worlds will be closed. Some heroes could be left behind.
This is currently upsetting the community: However, the move itself is not the main problem. Because if it has to happen, then so be it. But the large number of unanswered questions and the lack of responses so far are leading to a poor mood in the community.
Ambrodel writes in the official forum: “And as usual, the announcements lack the important information to understand the upcoming process.”
Islesi says: “The answers to these questions literally determine whether I leave the game or not, because I have invested a lot of time in my characters and do not want to lose them.”
But there are also soothing voices, such as Holyroller12: “It won’t happen before June 5, so there is enough time to answer the questions.”
Therefore, there is another problem: The move alone is not currently the only issue. Recently, a switch to the “Google Cloud Platform” technology took place. Since then, Rift players have been complaining about poor performance, lags, and disconnects in Europe.
Rift fans are wondering when there will finally be improvements. Will the move bring better performance? Will things worsen further if more players are active on fewer worlds? There are currently no answers from Gamigo regarding this.
The fans of Rift feel somewhat abandoned at the moment. Generally, there is very little happening in the MMORPG. The last major announcements – the Battle Pass and now the move – have left out important information.

A special enemy in Destiny 2 is currently the reason for numerous panicked reactions, exasperated faces, but also memes and funny videos. Do you already know Tr3-VR?
It’s about this enemy: Recently, a new enemy has been spreading fear and terror in Destiny 2. The encounters with him can only be survived with luck, because there is really nothing you can do against him.
If you hear him or, worse, if you see him, it is often already too late, and it means certain death. It’s about Tr3-VR, a kind of … – no idea what it’s supposed to be. Some kind of rampaging janitor robot, shredder or mulcher. In any case, a really nasty killer machine.

Where do you encounter Tr3-VR? If you have earned the new exotic pulse rifle Perfected Outbreak, you are guaranteed to have had the pleasure. Those who are currently trying to earn the weapon or plan to do so will also have to get acquainted with Trevor, as the community has dubbed him.
Shortly before the encounter, the disaster is announced in a rather unspectacular way
Because during the mission “The Hour Zero”, you will inevitably encounter this killer robot in a passage of the Tower.
What is so nasty about Tr3vor? In the corresponding mission passage, you run like a little hamster through the corridors of a small maze. There you have to activate four switches to open the exit and get to the next area. It sounds easy and straightforward, but Trevor is the catch.
If you see Trevor like this, it’s usually already too late
This killer shredder hunts down everyone looking for a way out of the maze. He appears at seemingly random spots and then moves through the narrow corridors.
If you see a flickering red light accompanied by a metallic noise that is getting closer, there is only one thing left to do – run! Because weapons cannot harm Tr3-VR. Also, he cannot be turned off.
If you hesitate, it usually means certain death (unless he unexpectedly turns away). But even if you run, the chance of being caught by the terrifying shredder is high.

Your only chance is small openings where you can hide from Trevor or the hope that the robot does not take the same turn that you are taking in your escape from the unstoppable machine.
How the fans react: Many Guardians hate Trevor. Sometimes, you can get through the maze without any problems. But often the janitor robot causes a lot of frustration, hate tirades, and torn apart teams. Because if you die in the maze due to Trevor, you have to redo the entire passage – unless you get revived.

Numerous Guardians report that Trevor seems to have a personal vendetta against them. After every respawn, they are constantly hunted down and torn apart by the machine – no matter which way they take and how they try to avoid him.
It is often the worst when you are almost at the open exit and are surprised by Trevor in the final centimeters. Or when two of you are waiting by the exit door and at the last second before the saving opening, this killer machine comes around the corner.

But Trevor also brings many fun moments to many Guardians and has already inspired countless memes and videos dedicated to him. He has now reached a kind of small cult status among some fans.
Some think that with his unpredictable mechanics, his terrible sound, and the claustrophobic atmosphere in the narrow corridors, he is one of, if not the coolest and nastiest enemy in all of Destiny 2. Many report chilling moments – especially during their first encounters with this killer robot.
If other team members continue, it may happen that you get stuck in this passage for 10 or 15 minutes and thus arrive too late or not at all for the boss fight.

What do you think of Trevor? Has this killer machine left a lasting impression on you – whether positive or negative? Or is Tr3-VR nothing special for you?
An incident during the Overwatch League stream is likely to be remembered for a while. There, convicted serial killers were shown as “loving mother”.
Last Sunday was Mother’s Day worldwide, when gamers also remembered their mothers and showed them how much they care. Many responded to this call, but there was also a troll who “sneaked” a very special image into the stream. It showed convicted serial killers and child molesters from the UK.
What happened? The Overwatch League had called for viewers to celebrate Mother’s Day a bit during the stream. Viewers were encouraged to share photos of their mothers under the hashtag #OWLMoms and explain why they love their moms so much.
A troll apparently took this as an opportunity to make a joke. He didn’t use a picture of his mother but rather two convicted serial killers. This tweet was then shown on the Overwatch League stream – among others.
The aforementioned tweet with Frederick and Rosemary West.
Who was in the picture? The picture was an early photo of Frederick and Rosemary West, two British serial killers who were convicted in 1994. The man took his own life in prison, while Rosemary is still incarcerated today.
This may not be common knowledge, but it is quite well known. It seems to have escaped the Steam operators of the Overwatch League, who were searching for relevant tweets. Thus, the tweet featuring the serial killers was shown.
Many viewers immediately noticed that they had seen the image before and repeatedly pointed this out loudly in the comments. So far, there has been no reaction from the Overwatch League to the incident.
What do you think of this incident? Should there be an apology for this? Or was it a successful and quite humorous troll attempt? Or just morbid?
The team behind the online shooter Apex Legends is now planning steps against players who can cost you the victory. Those who display selfish behavior and do not care about their teammates could soon face a ban.
Who will be banned? In a recent “Check In” on May 11, Respawn spoke about plans to punish some players. This concerns players who do not really participate in the game and about whom several complaints have been filed.
This time, the steps are not against cheaters, but against truly “bad teammates.” The developers refer to this behavior as “piggybacking,” where players let themselves be carried through the game by jumping on the backs of others and saying, “Run, my little piggy.”
Players do not care what they do as long as they survive longer.
What is “piggybacking”? In “piggybacking,” players actively separate from their teammates or do not really participate in the game at all.
They do not pick up weapons, do not shoot, and do not help anyone.
Their goal is simply to earn many experience points and level up the Battle Pass faster. They accept that teammates suffer from their behavior and have less fun.
Is the Battle Pass a problem?
This is how action will be taken against the players: Currently, temporary bans are being discussed to punish players for their behavior. However, those who continue to behave negatively and stand out as “Piggybackers” can also receive a permanent ban.
For now, this is all just meant to serve as a warning:
This change will not happen immediately. We just wanted to give players a little pre-warning so they can improve their behavior.
When the first penalties can be expected is still not exactly clear. However, possible solo and duo modes could help.
So far, it is just a warning.
This is how the community feels about it: Since there have already been complaints about this behavior in advance, many players agree with the plan. However, there are concerns about the implementation, as it is difficult to automate the detection of such behavior. The player Glasseater_ says on reddit:
Don’t waste time automating this. People will find ways to do the bare minimum to avoid being banned. Matches are still getting ruined and there’s a chance players will be wrongfully banned.
Niantic has exposed a group of cheaters in their game Ingress. Now trainers in Pokémon GO hope that action will be taken against cheaters there as well.
This was announced by Niantic: On Twitter, the Niantic Support account announced that they had succeeded in making a strike against cheaters in Ingress.
Several players who had cheated special items using bot accounts were punished there.
This gives hope: This news also caught the attention of Pokémon GO players. Could similar incidents with cheaters in Pokémon GO happen soon?
Cheaters in Pokémon GO – Could something happen soon?
This is the current status regarding cheaters: In Pokémon GO, cheating is almost hassle-free. Particularly, spoofing, i.e., manipulating GPS data, is hardly punished at all.
Many honest players are annoyed by cheating. They take gyms from home and often do not consider other players. Meanwhile, honest trainers have to run from gym to gym to be able to attack there.

This is how the Niantic tweet was received: The fewest reactions to the tweet came from Ingress players. Mainly the trainers of Pokémon GO reacted to it.
In response, it was often said: “Good step and next then the spoofers in Pokémon GO?”
The user “PokemonMasterWill” even expresses it a bit more drastically: “A ton of other mobile games ban third-party apps, but Niantic and Pokémon GO love their spoofers so much that they do nothing against them.”.

Could something happen now? With this tweet, Niantic definitely shows that they are indeed able to recognize whether an account uses bots or other third-party apps in connection with their game.
This confirmation has always been lacking. It now remains to be seen whether Niantic is also willing to take action against spoofers in Pokémon GO. The demands of the players seem to be significant.
Sony has recently shown a knack for reviving some slumbering online games by releasing them for free on PS4. After For Honor in February and Conan Exiles in April, it looks like Monster Hunter World might be next. However, the trial on PlayStation 4 is time-limited.
This effect has Sony’s favor: Online games that become temporarily free via PS Plus are experiencing a renaissance on PS4 lately.
Google Trends shows: The graph represents the relative search interest for Conan Exiles.
As seen: Conan Exiles was only searched as frequently as at the PS Plus launch during its early access launch in 2017 and the official release in 2018.
This effect on Google Trends is usually only seen with major expansions or huge upheavals in older games.
Normally, very few games achieve even close to the hype level and search interest that results from a release.
The appearance on PS Plus is therefore a powerful tool for publishers.
What about Monster Hunter World? For Monster Hunter World, Sony is taking a different approach this time:
The game is not available for free for a month if you have PS Plus, like Conan Exiles
but Monster Hunter World is only free to play for a few days – you still need PS Plus, though. The offer lasts until May 20.
Why so short? Unlike Conan Exiles, Monster Hunter World is much more geared towards single-player. If players were given 30 days, dedicated players could complete the monster hunting for free and would have little reason to buy the game afterward.
What’s behind this: Capcom surely hopes this offer will increase attention among PS4 players and grow the player base, especially with a major expansion, Iceborne, coming in September.
There’s hope that players will fall in love with Monster Hunter World during the 10 days, take advantage of the low price, and then pay full price for Iceborne in September.
Will it work? Now we have to wait and see if Monster Hunter World can benefit from a resurgence in the few days that the free offer is still available, just like Conan Exiles did before.
The game is already quite distinctive. And players had the opportunity to test MHW for free in a beta before its release:
Those who liked the game back then probably bought it long ago.
Those who were put off by the controls or the look of the huntress will hesitate again.
Huntress
But the trial offers a chance to peek in for free once again and play further than during the beta. Many think Monster Hunter World only reveals its charm after several hours, when the complexity becomes clearer.
If players decide to buy Monster Hunter World during the trial, they can do so at a lower price – as there’s also a sale happening at Sony.
This is an AI-powered translation. Some inaccuracies might exist.
In Fortnite: Battle Royale, a hint has appeared for the new daily Fortbyte challenge. Fortbyte 92 can now be unlocked and it is quite simple: You need to go to the lava falls on the Fortnite map. However, you need to meet some prerequisites.
What is the task for the Fortbyte? The 92nd Fortbyte has appeared in Fortnite along with a new task. The byte is located in the northeast of the map, near Pressure Plant and the recently erupted volcano.
It’s best to land directly where it is marked on the map below.

Spray the “Rock Love” spray at the lava falls
Here’s where you need to search: The Fortbyte is already well visible on a stone platform between two small lava falls. It is located at the highest lava fall. However, you cannot simply use or interact with the Fortbyte.
First, you need to use the “Rock Love” spray on the stones under the Fortbyte. You receive the spray as a reward for Level 2 of the Battle Pass of Season 9 in Fortnite. You need to equip the spray as an emote and spray it yourself.
With the spray, you can easily spray the stones directly under the byte. Afterwards, you can collect the byte as usual.
How to get Fortbyte 92 in Fortnite
